What the attendees will learn

Attendees will learn how to plan their content and information architecture to help them build more re-usable components.

They will work in groups on small information architecture exercises on my Miro board template. An empty version of that template will be available after the workshop so that they can re-use this method in their daily work.

Disclaimer: this is a design/information architecture workshop, we will go up to wireframes, but there is no code involved.

Requirements

We will use an online whiteboard tool: Miro. Participants need a laptop with a browser. It would be nice if they can also get familiar quickly with the tool before. They don’t need to create an account, but it would be better if they want to duplicate the template to re-use it after.

No prior knowledge is required. But some basic knowledge on user research and information architecture will help. Please note that we won’t enter into the details on how to conduct the research, though.
